"Counter-clockwise operation" /speed 1. MC off. Put the basket on top to avoid splashing.Add cornflour mix (may be adjusted if you think mixture is too thick or not thick enough) and cream and mix 20 seconds /
"Counter-clockwise operation" / speed 2-3.Allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 200C.
Line base of pie dish with rolled pastry (I spray the dish lightly with oil first to avoid sticking) making sure it goes to the edge. Add cooled filling and cover with another rolled pastry sheet. Press edges together with a fork and poke some holes in the top. Cut off any excess pastry that is hanging over. Brush with a little milk.
Bake in oven for 30-40 minutes.
Tip
This recipe was adapted (for my own collection) from the chicken and leek pie by janisp. Her recipe includes homemade pastry in the recipe and it was also delicious.
In my opinion this recipe tastes best with puff pastry.

Delicious and very well liked among the whole family. The hint of cream at the end makes it so yummy. I added chopped mushrooms and zucchini when the chicken went in the bowl which made it nice and chunky.
Hello, as Thelma and Tara below mentioned, after chopping you leave the garlic, onion and leek in the thermomix, then add butter to cook.
you need to add the onion, garlic and leek at step 1, then add butter to that to cook. It is the first thing you do, chop the onion leek and garlic then cook it.
Hope that helps xx
Made this for dinner last night, OMG so yummy. I made the BCB shortcrust pastry to go with it, which was nice, but i think next time i would try puff pastry to make a bit lighter and fluffier.
I plan to use the left over filling tonight to make my husbands dinner, and plan to only up a pastry top on, using puff.
great and easy pie. unfortunately I did the mix for too long and ended up with chicken and leek smoothie in pastry
but the flavour was delicious.
Thanks could you please advise best time to add garlic and onion. Recipe does not include those directions.
We made this dish some time ago, it was a hit with the family. Will surely be on the menu during winter.
